Get La Lucia QuotesWhich La Lucia Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Original La Lucia homes | 1960s – 1970s | Garage roofs, eaves soffits, ceilings |
| Later homes and extensions | 1970s – 1980s | Carport and pool-room roofs, fascias |
| Townhouse complexes | 1980s | Communal garage roofs, gutters |
| Rebuilds and new homes | 1990s+ | None |
Eaves soffits are an easy find to miss; they are flat asbestos cement board on a lot of homes from this period.
Soffits, Garages And Extensions
- Soffits run the full perimeter. Flat asbestos cement board under the eaves is common and is often only noticed when the roof is being redone.
- Pool rooms and pump houses. Small outbuildings around the pool frequently carry original sheeting.
- Extensions mix materials. An addition from the 1990s may be fine while the original house beside it is not.
Price The Soffits With The Roof
If the roof or gutters are being redone, check the soffits at the same time. Taking soffit board out while the scaffolding and the disposal run are already in place costs a fraction of a separate visit, and finding it afterwards turns one job into two.
